Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Elbow

Hello, 3 weeks ago i suffered an injury to my forearm area that caused me to be admitted following my initial ER visit where an xray of bone was negative but kept due to comparment syndrome in the affected area. I was painting a rather large steel job storage box when i bumped the box and the lid crashed down on my right forearm just below the elbow. I dont really know how to describe the injury; to my knowledge it was way worse than a typical bruise but not a strain or pull because typically i associate those type injuries as occuring during motion and activity, such as running and pulling a hammy. I have begun to have motion back in my wrist and fingers but am at a loss as to where i go from here. Is there anything i should be worried about regarding damage to the muscle itself. Know im really having more pain in my elbow while the impact area remains hard and feels like it may be deformed.

I think u should go and get yourself exam8Ned by an orthopaedician. Even if there is no bony injury, there may be muscle or ligament trauma which may require some treatment.
